We'd like to announce a last minute change in the location for the November
10 Swing and Hustle Workshops. The workshops will now be held in room 314
of the Illini Union; not in the Ballroom as previously announced.
Remember to e-mail me or Pauline to register so we know how many people to
expect!
The 7-10pm dance will still be held in the Illini Union Ballroom.
It's going to be great! See you there!
